Agnes Meharg Reasor was a woman of many talents. She worked the farm as a child, then graduated from college with a teaching certificate. Her first job was in Christine, Texas, where she met Larry Reasor. After their first child was born they moved back to Gatesville to help run the Meharg farm since Sam was sick with heart trouble by that time. Their two younger children were born in Coryell County. "Mur," as she was called by all in the family taught school in Turnersville, Texas and was the Principal for a time. After moving to Alice, Texas and then Corpus Christi, Texas she worked as the Special Education teacher for the Portland School District. During all this time she continued her studies and received her Master's Degree in Education. |

Agnes Junkin Meharg
This is my favorite picture of my Grandmother. She was the eldest daughter of Sam and Lizzie Meharg. I believe it was taken around 1930. |
